Dear Joe,

thank you for your hint!
I have upload my shop via ftp (WS_FTP PRO and ASCII-Mode) to my ISP
(WIN98-box to WIN-NT-BOX) and there, the shop hasn't run well and
wasn't stable!

After translating all my shop-files (unixize with dos2unix.exe), i was
able to
visit my shop in WIN-NT-box! If there is a mistake at me, let me know!
I am new in UNIX (and can't use my AVM-ISDN-card in FreeBSD-box)
and i am an old windoze-user!

Joachim
